I want that bike

EDIT: do you have to have Di2 with that frame?i.e. could I throw on Ultegra?Does it run a standard shimano BB and crank?quick calcs tell me that I wouldn't get change out of $2k (using existing wheels)....

No, There are Di2 and non-Di2 versions of the frame, although the Di2 frames are still compatible with non-Di2 for some reason. You can also get different BB versions, so standard Shimano is fine.

Have just completed my fm098 running campy super record on a Di2 compatible frame. Only difference is that the Di2 frame here is;- no rear D inner cable routing sleave with no cable stops - a hole for the internal wiringThat's it AFAIK

It is a bit tricky routing the rear d cable, but not too bad.

Btw by my calcs with ultegra, this frame, carbon wheels and everything else on the bike you could do it for under 2.5k

so why that vs a azurri with di2 for the same $

one of the reasons I didn't go that route. Went SR and for a little over 3k. Couldn't find that set-up in that price range.

How has it been, any issues? I'm considering buying a frame as a project training bike.

Nope no issues, well none that I haven't caused, i.e. stripping bolts If you're after a stiffer more crit style bike then chose this, or something slightly more relaxed say for climbing then go the FM028.I notice the stiffness in the bracket when sprinting compared to the FM028, it just propels that little bit more.
